Advice Following Botox Treatment

  1. Try to exercise your treated muscles for the 1st hour after treatment (e.g practices frowning, raising your eyebrows and squinting). This helps to work the injection into your muscles. Although this may help your procedure outcome, it will NOT impact on your treatment negatively if you forget to do this.
  2. DO NOT have a facial, nor rub or massage the treated areas for 24 hours after your treatment.
  3. DO NOT lie down or do strenuous exercise for 3 hours after treatment. Also, avoid any exposure to a sauna, hot tub or tanning for 4 hours.
  4. Please be aware that some patients experience a mild headache. IF this occurs for you, simply take Paracetamol as needed.
  5. Do not take Aspirin, Ibuprofen, Nurofen or other anti-inflammatories because it can increase your chance of bruising.
  6. Be assured that any tiny bumps or marks will go away within a few hours after your treatment. There is a small risk of bruising. If this does occur, do not worry since it will only be temporary and can easily be covered with makeup.
  7. Anti-wrinkle injections take 3 to 5 days to begin to work. Therefore there may be no change evident prior to this time. The treatment can take up to 2 weeks to take full effect.
  8. Anti-wrinkle injections are a temporary procedure and at first, you may find that your treatment results will last approximately 3 or 4 months. If you maintain your treatment appointments with the frequency recommended, the duration of each treatment result may last longer than 4 months.
  9. It is a good idea to book your next session in advance, if you allow the effects to wear off , it is difficult for us to be able to see how your individual muscles reacted and therefore optimal results for your face are harder to achieve.
